Terran Confederation Medal of Honour
A grey/silver planetoid affixxed to a green ribbon with double-black vertical striping. Awarded for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life, above and beyond the call of duty. It is informally (if affecionatly) called the 'Pewter Planet'.
Stars:
The Bronze Star is awarded for exceptional bravery under fire.
The Silver Star is awarded for exceptional bravery against overwhelming opposition.
The Gold Star is awarded for exceptional bravery against hopeless odds.
Wound Badges:
The Black Wound Medal is awarded for less than three woundings;
The Silver Wound Medal is awarded for three to five wounds; or the loss of an eye, foot, hand or hearing or requiring moderate reconstructive surgery.
The Golden Wound Medal was awarded for more than 5 wounds or severe wounds that permanently injured or disfigured the recipient. Or require a full body prosthetic
General Service Medal:
Silver for the War medal for warlike operations or Bronze for non warlike operations
Each has clasps for respective Missions/Campaigns
Presidential Unit Citation is awarded to units of the Armed Forces of the Confederation and allies for extraordinary heroism in action against an armed enemy
Combat action is awarded to those who have actively participated in ground or surface combat. The degree of heroism required is the same as that which would warrant award of the Gold Star to an individual.
Gallant Unit Citation is awarded to any Confed unit which distinguishes itself by extraordinary heroism while engaged in armed combat with an enemy force. The degree of heroism required is the same as that which would warrant award of the Silver Star to an individual.
The Good Conduct Medal is awarded to any enlisted member of the Confederation military who completes three consecutive years of "honorable and faithful service". Such service implies that a standard enlistment was completed without any non-judicial punishments, disciplinary infractions, or court martial offenses. If a service member commits an offense, the three-year mark "resets" and a service member must perform an additional three years of discipline-free service before the Good Conduct may be authorized.
Note: A rosette is issued in lieu of multiple awards of the same decoration with the first rosette issued for the second award of the decoration.
Gold rosettes are issued in lieu of five silver, meaning that a gold rosette is provided for the 6th, 11th, 16th and so on, for subsequent awards of a decoration. There are no higher degrees of rosettes authorized in lieu of five silver rosettes.
Also note, battle bars and campaign bars are not worn with the ribbons but only with the medals.
I know the medals are a bit limited, so if you have any other suggestions, I'm all ears. Also other forces awards are welcome. Just remember to note what the criteia for said award. By the by, there's aren't the only Confed awards, just the ones I could come up with at the moment.
